What is non-declarative / implicit memory?

What is an example of a semantic memory?
Paris is the capital of France.
Are semantic memories time stamped?
Semantic – not time stamped: might not recall when learnt/encoded.
What region of the brain are semantic memories associated with?
Parahippocampal cortex and the left prefrontal cortex.
What is an example of a procedural memory?
The knowledge of knowing how to ride a bike.
Are procedural memories time stamped?
Procedural – not time stamped: often learnt in childhood.
